“You will be spending very little time in your room if the snow is good so it will depend on how much space you'll need. There are a variety of rooms with a range of aspects so check out what suits you best on their website. In my experience Cliff and Sayaka post the most reliable reports of snow conditions and weather.” (Moneytree1)

“I came here for the food. Sorry cannot comment on the rooms themselves.” (127lisal)

“Rooms downstairs facing Nth East were fine for Us. Take slippers for the in room Sower/toilet as they have tiled floors and no heating, Toilet seat heater would be welcome :-)” (niftwa)

“Room choice depends on personal taste. You can ask for mountain, resort, or courtyard views.
All rooms are quiet with guests, generally, respecting each other. All rooms have an oil heater and there's a ski, board and boot drying room downstairs.” (DebO949)

“Rooms at the end near the fire escape get the smell of smoke as people use the fire escape to have their smokos so a room more to the middle.. Ask for Mountain View room!” (Lill1271)

The Sundeck Hotel is a small, welcoming hotel in one of the best locations on the snow at Perisher Valley. The hotel is well-maintained with very clean, comfortable and quiet rooms. It is homely rather than luxurious which is appreciated for relaxation after a great day on the slopes. A hearty unlimited breakfast and three course dinner with three choices...

It may not be the most modern of hotels, but this place is hard to beat when it comes to on-snow accomodation.The rooms are small however the place is clean, well maintained, offers excellent & hearty meals that are shared within a common dinning area where you can chat with other guests or simply dine solo. However if you are...

This is the fourth time I have been to Sundeck, each time with my kids (teenagers) and it is always good. There is a premium to be paid for being in a true ski in ski out location but it is worth it. The rooms are basic but clean and we all slept like logs every night.Besides, we were only...

Dear Bruce,
Thanks for your generous comments - pleased you had another good holiday in the mountains - we are lucky in Australia to have snow as well as great beaches.
It is always nice to welcome regular guests back to the hotel.
Best wishes

The Sundeck serves bowls of hand-cut fries with sauces for lunch 11-2pm which is great and less commerical than mid-station.
The interior where the bar is has a nice old-school skiing lodge feel and if the sun is out, there are outdoor seats with a nice snow coverage where the kids can play.
Loved the hand-cut fries - mixture of...

Unfortunately chips are another example of a product in Australia that has suffered from mass production. We put a lot of effort into our chips and are pleased you enjoyed them - with the skins left on and only finished in the fryer they are about as healthy as they can...

The Sundeck hotel is somewhere you stay for the location, definitely not the food or the accommodation! Although it's incredibly expensive per night during ski season (over $600!), and food is included, it was terrible, school cafeteria food (especially the breakfast). For the price we paid for the very very basic room, it was dissappointing. If you expect luxurious accommodation...

Thanks for taking the time to write a review and sorry we did not meet your expectations.
Note that we do not aim for fine dining - we want to provide skiers with hearty, healthy food after a day of physical activity and our regular guests certainly seem to agree with us.
We want to provide a ski lodge style...

Once again a wonderful fun trip. I have stayed at the Sundeck on many occasions and would not even bother looking elswhere. The location is perfect, the staff are very good, the food is delicious and always has been. The rooms although basic are very adequate and comfortable. It is so good to finish skiing for the day and just...

My husband and I used to stay at the Sundeck and last stayed there about 18 years ago. This time I booked a 'Girl's weekend' as I remembered the excellent ski in/out location and the great food and wine list. Well, Cliff and Sayaka didn't disappoint. (Cliff even remembered me!) Everything taken care of from oversnow transport to special dietary...

Awesome position on the Mountain, bit of a punish at night if you go anywhere else but normally there is no need too. Accommodation is basic to minimalist and showing it's age, however it gets the job done and most nights sleep is easy to achieve if you've put the effort in on the snow :-). The meals are a...

With the good snow conditions this year access out of the ski room has been a bit tricky. Will look at some better options over summer.

This is my first stay at the Sundeck and It will not be my last.
Positive is - Location, Location and Location.
The nightly entertainment was excellent, from the Comedians on a Tuesday night (Nelson Twins & Jon Schuster) and music entertainment that was provided by Glenn Campbell (Not THE obviously).
The rooms are a little on the small side,...

Great for families, ski in and out is fantastic, entertainment is fun, Kids love the kids room upstairs, we love the bar!
As you make friends, dinner tables become larger, very sociable.
Snowman competition and sliding down the hills outside make this fun for all.
Glad the half pipe was open at the end of the week.
